    Welcome to the world of non-lurking :)

    What was your first car?

    I had numerous bikes for a few years until I could raise the cash to buy: A Royal Blue 1977 Mini - JVY 694S She was 9 years old when I bought her in 1986 for £750 (came with 12 months MOT and 6 months tax), but keeping her on the road was crippling for a 19 year old with a heavy right foot...

    Ascots

    I'm quite excited today, as my new purchases arrived at the office. This is my favourite (and most expensive): and this although I'm not so keen on the colour (I still like it), will also work well I think on days I fancy wearing my brown jacket: Both are labelled Tootal, and...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    It's a very bright and sunny day here in Hull (Kingston upon Hull to give it its proper name). There's hardly a cloud in the sky, but the sun is still very low. The wide brim of my Ford Fedora (in my avatar) did a great job of keeping the sun out of my eyes as I walked from one our offices...

    Hat care tools??

    Also worth bearing in mind that nylon bristles are more prone to creating static, which will just attract dust back to your hat.

    Any Cravat Wearers Out There?

    I guess quality comes at a price. But I might get one new one at some point, and wear it for 'best' I think that for the most part I'll keep an eye out on The 'Bay, as well as hunting through the local charity shops. Thanks for the tips, and I've found the Ascots thread now :)

    Ascots

    Edward Fox went to Harrow School, and a quick search of Google Images has revealed that those are indeed the Old Harrovian Colours. Sadly I’ve a feeling that the school and its old boys would take a dim view of you sporting their colours if you’re not in the club.

    Rather than reading and running, I just thought I'd stop long enough to say 'hi', and to thank Two Types for guiding me to this thread. I’ve not been a big fan of wearing ties for a number of years, but I’m getting to the stage of life where I feel I ought to ‘tidy myself up a bit’. I like...

    Any Cravat Wearers Out There?

    Ahhh! Thanks for the hint Two Types. I'll have a search and hopefully see you on the other side. Thanks also fot the link I'll spend some time checking that out as well.

    Any Cravat Wearers Out There?

    I’m fairly new around here, and still finding my way around, so forgive me if I’m posting in the wrong place, or duplicating another thread (which I can’t find) I’ve not been a big fan of wearing ties for a number of years, but I’m getting to the stage of life where I feel I ought to ‘tidy...

    ...Which leads to my question: Does anyone know of any good IRL hat shops in the UK? For me, ideally in Yorkshire. I would also be interested to know about shops in London as I will undoubtaly be making the anual pilgrimage there over the next few months

    Yeah the Ford does have a slightly wider brim than yours. and I too bought from from hatsandcaps.co.uk (great minds eh?) :)

    Hi Destinys Agent, I'm in a similar position to you (with the same head size). I was torn between the Jaxon C Crown and the Jaxon Ford Fedora as my first hat. In the end I went for the Ford Fedora (in my avatar). I assume, like me, that you bought the medium size, and it does feel very light...

    The VS Custom is very smart. I especially like the stripe in the bow on the ribbon, makes it look very unique

    Post New Hats Here!

    My new acquisition arrived today: It's a Gangster Fedora, made by Christys, and supplied by Village Hats. I bought it online on their UK site, and once again I'm really pleased with my purchase. This one cost me £56 (not sure what that is in $US), but compared to other outlets it seems like...
